Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)

The Department of Rehabilitation (DOR) is committed to providing services to individuals with disabilities through employment, independence and equality, including those individuals with a traumatic brain injury.

Survey

The Department of Rehabilitation (DOR) developed a survey for the TBI community’s input. The purpose of the survey was to collect input on scoring and weighting decisions for the upcoming Request for Application (RFA), and on determining the number of TBI grants.

This survey is part of a comprehensive set of strategies to finalize the RFA and provide opportunities for all interested TBI stakeholders to participate in the process. We collected responses through January 4, 2015.

Here are the compiled results and a narrative summarizing the results.
